Srinagar: Several Kashmiri politicians have come in support of a Kashmiri cricketer who displayed the Palestine flag on his helmet during a tournament in Jammu, asserting that there is nothing wrong in talking about the situation in Palestine.

According to Global Mirror, Indian police launched a preliminary inquiry on Friday after videos and photos surfaced online showing Furqan Ul Haq, a cricketer from Pulwama district, wearing a helmet with the Palestine flag on it during a private tournament match held in Jammu.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti Mehbooba Mufti swiftly reacted, posting the Palestinian flag on her social media account and expressing her strong backing for the Palestinian cause.
